Talk to me about Barcelona - GoFuckYourself.com

LAJ · 01-04-2013, 12:08 PM

The good, the bad, the ugly... and by "ugly" I mean the realllly good.

I'm going there for The European Summit. I'm stoked as hell because Andreas & Walter always put on incredible shows in Prague, but this is my first time going to Barcelona. I typically need a good month minimum between shows and this year the timing with AVN and Phoenix forum works out well for me.

So please let this virgin have it... any advice... warnings... secrets, etc. I know it's nearly 2 months out, but fuckit... i'm excited...

scubadiver626 · 01-04-2013, 12:18 PM

Interested too. I heard the women are awesome since it borders so many ethnically diverse countries. That place seems like a dream, that needs to be made reality!

pornguy · 01-04-2013, 12:25 PM

Headed over there soon for a family vacation.

JFK · 01-04-2013, 12:52 PM

the show is Barcelona, the location is actually about 20mins or so out

But it's always a quality event

Sarah_Jayne · 01-04-2013, 01:01 PM

One of the most beautiful cities that I have seen. Architecture wise, it is unlike anywhere else I have been in the world. The city drips with art and that is most evident in the buildings. We are so conditioned to think the outward walls of a building should be straight up and down. Apparently, the folks in Barcelona didn't get the memo.

Also, take advantage of the siesta culture and get out and night and experience a city that is really alive well into the wee hours.

If you like people watching and/or local foods, take a walk through La Boqueria market. It is right off the Ramblas.

Oh and remember, they are in Catalonia ..and they mean it

UniqueD · 01-04-2013, 01:05 PM

Much of the BaDoink team is here in BCN, we'll show you a good time J.

LAJ · 01-04-2013, 01:10 PM

Thanks Sarah... yeah I def. want to try and get at least a 1/2 day of tourism into this. Coming in a day early to help acclimate with the time difference.

And thank you Badoink ;)

Kiwigirl · 01-04-2013, 03:05 PM

I went to Barcelona on personal trip back in 2008 but am excited to go again cause I'm extending trip a few days to spend with friends.

In regards to back to back shows.....invest in some kick ass multi vitamins and don't be shy to sanitize frequently cause getting sick during, before and after the shows (as you should already know Jay) is awful. lol

LAJ · 01-04-2013, 04:06 PM

Cmon folks don't disappoint... do I need to look out for pickpockets, shady cabbies, shemales... lemme have it...

Hazlewood · 01-23-2013, 06:42 AM

We will be there. Look forward in meeting many new people and all the great people we already do business with. cheers

somebody's been watching scam city, I can tell

UniqueD · 01-23-2013, 07:08 AM

Yes pickpockets, mainly on the metro. Cabbies for the most part are fine. From the airport dont accept rides from random dudes offering inside the airport (thats a given) just go to the taxi line.

The kicker here J is that the show isnt actually in Barcelona. In past years it has, but this year for whatever reason its being held in Sitges, which is about 40 minutes by train from Barcelona, and maybe a 80-100 euro cab ride.

Evil Chris · 01-23-2013, 07:11 AM

Didn't you just get home from Vegas? ;)

Only if you're gay..

I love Sitges aswell though, best peach I've ever eaten in my life was in Sitges.

Lived in Barca for 2 years, wonderful city. Cant stand the language though

.
Petty crime has got alot worse in the center though. Romanians mainly.

just a punk · 01-23-2013, 07:48 AM

Been there a few times. Barcelona is some amazing place on the planet

EddyTheDog · 01-23-2013, 07:53 AM

Take lots of money - Its not like the rest of Spain as far as prices go.

Sitges is a great place, but it is VERY gay - You would not be safe LAJ

.

slapass · 01-23-2013, 08:21 AM

Spent a few days there and it was totally off the hook. The city never stops. If you get off the main track and they invite you on stage, you had better think first as this ain't the states.

Hey... I chatted with your team in Vegas. Great group of guys!

LAJ · 01-23-2013, 10:29 AM

LOL... good responses. Not thrilled that the show is far from the hotel, especially considering I'll have just traveled for like 14 hours with a layover, but whatever.

Indeed, i was there couple years ago and saw 2 women getting their wallet stolen in the Subway! Just make sure you keep your wallet in your front pockets.
Took a cab only once, Buses and Subways are everywhere. We did have a local guide hanging out with us, met him at the Hostel we were staying at, good times

I strongly recommend you check out Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and maybe a (real) football game and the Camp Nou if there is one while you're there

it will be my first trip as well and I'm getting in a day early to explore. onto the story...

so Stephen (JuicyAds CSR UK division) was walking back to the hotel in the wee hours a bit tipsy last year when a stranger started chatting him up. Stephen was no beginner when it came to protecting his personal belongings, he put them deep within his front pants pocket. he had his passport and wallet safely tucked next to his family jewels. suffice to say, Stephen had to spend a couple extra days in the city because the nice fellow passing by had nicked his passport and wallet and maybe his phone..have to check. we tease him now about not knowing someone had their hands in his pants. he swears he never felt a thing.

i'm getting in on the 28th so i can explore the city for a day before the show. any hotel recommendations that are not too pricey but nice and near some cool things to see? is your office right in town? would love to pop in and check it out. we are one of your mobile affiliates

JC01 · 01-23-2013, 04:17 PM

Make sure your travel insurance is up to date, crime is out of control, apart from that, it's difficult not to LOVE Barcelona!

mineistaken · 01-23-2013, 04:28 PM

all I know - even its Europe you can't find white hookers on la ramblas...

Insurance rarely pays for crime (unless yo uare actually hurt and need medical attention). Anyway - its mostly common sense not to get robbed (unless you are drnk and lost your sense)

RainGurl · 01-23-2013, 05:00 PM

I get in on the 28th and am leaving on the 5th. Almost impossible to make an early morning flight from Sitges!

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 01-23-2013, 05:21 PM

Lots of great museums and architecture in Barcelona (the Picasso Museu, et al).

Should be a good time (wish I was going)...

ADG

LAJ · 01-24-2013, 10:35 AM

I've got plenty of common sense. Hell, I've done Mexico many times lol...

I just don't want to do any American faux pas while I'm there... like it's really annoying to walk up to someone and as if they speak English, in English.
